It’s weird to realize that two years ago today an armed mob stormed the U.S. Capitol Building, at the urging of the President of the United States, because they didn’t like how the presidential election turned out. And it’s even weirder to realize that the President of the United States wanted to join them.
If that hadn’t happened, and I were to write that into the plot of a novel, I suspect that readers would shake their heads in disbelief. After all, my readers would probably think, no President with an ounce of integrity would even think of doing something like that.
Oh, right.
